If you've been hurt in a car accident in Los Angeles, you need an attorney who knows California fault law, deals with the insurance companies, and fights for every dollar.
Attorney of the Year — California Lawyers Association No fee until we winThe driver who caused the accident is responsible. But insurers routinely fight liability and minimize payouts — especially without an attorney.
Even if you were partially at fault, you can still recover. Insurers inflate your share of blame to reduce what they owe.
California Code of Civil Procedure §335.1. If a government vehicle is involved, you may have as little as 6 months.
California requires $15k/$30k minimums — far less than serious injury costs. We investigate all available coverage including UM/UIM policies.
Liability theory, evidence, and damages rules vary by collision type. We treat each separately.
The most common type in LA — distracted driving, tailgating, sudden stops in heavy traffic.
Among the most deadly. Often occur when a driver crosses the center line on highways or surface streets.
Common at intersections when a driver runs a red light or fails to yield.
You may still recover through your own uninsured motorist coverage even if the driver fled.
Impaired drivers may expose defendants to punitive damages in addition to actual losses.
Multi-tiered insurance questions unique to rideshare accidents. We handle these regularly.
Your actions in the hours after a collision directly affect your ability to recover compensation.
Request police and medical services. A police report is critical evidence.
Injuries like concussions may not appear for hours. A medical record links your injuries to the accident.
Photograph damage, road conditions, and injuries. Collect witness information.
Even "I'm sorry" can be used against you. Let your attorney handle communication.
Insurers will ask early. Politely decline until you have legal counsel — anything you say can reduce your payout.
The sooner we're involved, the better we can preserve evidence and protect your claim.

California allows victims to recover both economic and non-economic damages. The value of your claim depends on the severity of injury and the defendant's conduct.
Emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, and ongoing rehabilitation.
Income lost while you recover, plus reduced earning capacity if injuries are long-term.
Physical pain and emotional distress — real losses that insurance companies minimize.
Vehicle repair or replacement and other personal property destroyed in the crash.
Long-term treatment expenses if your injuries require ongoing care.
Available in cases involving drunk driving or other reckless conduct.
Past outcomes don't guarantee future results, but they show what's possible when evidence is preserved and all defendants are pursued.
